We were not created to just get by with average, unrewarding or unfulfilling lives. God created us to leave our marks on our generations. Every person has seeds of greatness planted within by the Creator. When life weighs upon us, pushing us down, limiting our thinking, labeling us in negative ways, we have what it takes to overcome and rise above into the fullness of our destinies.

All of us will go through dark times that we don't understand: a difficulty with a friend, an unfair situation at work, a financial setback, an unexpected illness, a divorce, or the loss of a loved one. Those types of experiences are part of the human journey. But when we find ourselves in such a place, it's important that we keep a positive perspective. Joel Osteen writes that if we stay in faith and keep a good attitude when we go through challenges, we will not only grow, but we will see how all things work together for our good.

The key to having a positive, happy, faith-filled day is to start each morning setting your mind in the right direction. It's easy to lie in bed thinking, "I don't feel like going to work. I don't want to deal with these children. I didn't exercise yesterday." We don't realize it, but that's setting the tone for a lousy day. If you don't intentionally set the tone for the day, negative thoughts will set it for you.

Best-selling author Joel Osteen provides a daily plan for erasing the thoughts that keep you down and reprogramming your mind with positive thinking to reach a new level of victory. This devotional will motivate listeners with inspirational prayers and insightful thoughts to help them start thinking about themselves the way God does. Here is a life-changing tool for training your mind to tune out the negativity and tune in to your calling and begin to live the wonderful plans God has made for you.

Publisher's Summary

The title comes from research that shows people are happiest on Fridays. Pastor Joel Osteen writes how we can generate this level of contentment and joy every day of the week.

Known as a man who maintains a constant positive outlook in spite of circumstances, Osteen has described this message as a core theme of his ministry. Combining his personal experiences with scriptural insights and principles for true happiness, he shows listeners how every day can hold the same promise and opportunities for pure joy that they experience at five o'clock on Friday.

Life Changer

I finished listening to this audio book while driving to work everyday. I have to say it changed my life. I truly enjoyed the book and starting to apply what I learned everyday.I am glad I decided to give this book a try. I know it has made positive impact to my life.I recommend the book for everyone, especially those whom living their lives with criticism, negative emotions, and ungratefulness.Three things that I tried to apply everyday while I am still alive.

Not only is my spiritual healthiness has a tremendous boost, but also my physical health as well. My chess doesn't tighten up as often, since I feel less stress and feel good about my life. My shoulder stops aching since I don't hold a grudge and stays with a positive attitude every minute I am awake. My teenage kids are seeing changes in me, since I stop being critical with them anymore. They began to talk to me more and share more stuff of their lives which I wouldn't think they would before. The biggest change is my relationship toward my spouse. We are more in love and began to enjoy talking and laughing together. We value our time together so much, that we increased our texting to each other tremendously when we are apart. It all started with me to have a positive, thankful, and uncomplaining attitude everyday. I hope I have helped you to pick up this book/audio book. I can only imaging if everyone I face each day have the same attitude as me, how much better the world would be.

Excellent book! A joy to listen too.

Awesome book, Joel is a joy to listen to! He put many a smile on my face, day after day listening to him and his stories. This book really opens your eyes to things you do every day that you could do differently to affect not only your life but hopefully another person's as well in a more positive manner.

GREAT WAY TO DRIVE TO WORK

I love this book. Many ideas and memorable stories to help deal with daily stumbling blocks. His voice is soothing and his story telling funny and heartwarming. I felt better the moment I started listening. If you aren't a faith based soul you'll still find many helpful tips you can use everyday.

So Uplifting!

If you could sum up Every Day a Friday in three words, what would they be?

Uplifting! Inspiring! Enpowering!

Who was your favorite character and why?

no characters, it's all about the Lord!

Have you listened to any of Joel Osteen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Right on point as the others. He's a joy to listen to and so uplifting!

What did you learn from Every Day a Friday that you would use in your daily life?

So much I can't list them all but one thing I'll never forget is that people need to change the way they think. Stay postive and speak positive things into your life and it will change your circumstances.

Great words of encouragement for anyone!

I like this book because it is filled with words of encouragement. I feel that Pastor Joel does a good job of reading his book to you. I suppose that one criticism could be that this book is too positive and does not take into account the real world. I disagree - Pastor Joel helps you adjust your mind so that you can get through those bad times and not let others 'bad attitudes' put a damper on your day. I am glad I got this one.

Inspiring!!

My first Audiobook, or even any book by Joel Osteen. I'm a regular watcher of his Sunday sermons, of which you will see some overlap in this book. Overall, if you want to be encouraged, challenged it's a great listen!!

Simple truths one should never forget

I enjoyed listening to this book very much. One can listen to a random spot and always find a simple yet underappreciated truth about life and its meaning. I recommend this book as a wonderful 'spirit lifter'.
